T0 all ichom c't may concern:

Bc it known that I, JOHN B. SCHNEIDER, of St. Jacobs, Madison count y, Illin0is, havc madc a new and usefulhnprovcmentin Dinncr-Buckhasp,and,respectively,as unlockedandlockcd; l

ets, of which the t"ollowingis a full, clear, and exact description, rcference bcing had to tl1e ahncxed drawings, making part cf lthis specification, in which Figure 1 is a view, in pe'rspectivc, cf theimprovcd bucket, thc Cover bcing raiscd and the Wall cf the buckct being brokcn away to exhlbit; thc intcrior construction; Fig. 2, an end elcvation, the covcr being in section and turned back, so that; tl1e handle encounters the surfacc upon which thc buckct is resting and in that position serving to uphold the cover Figs. 3 and 4, dctails, heing fronb elcvations cf the Fig. 5, a view, in perspective, of the dish used in closing thc chamber in thc bucket-covci; and Fig. 6, an edge viewof the hasp and locking ring.

The same lctters dcriotc thc same parts.

The present invenbion relates t0 thc body cf the bucket and the vessels thcrein contained, to the cover and means used in inclosing the chamber therein, and thc mcanS nscd in locking thc hasp.

In 13110 drawings, A represcnts thc improved bucket. The body a tapcrs downward, and ab its cnds a a is prcfcrably rounded, as shown. In onc end cf the body is a vesscl, B, suitable for holdingfluids, such as coffee, and which are intrcduced into and discharged fron1 the esscl ab the (ccvercd) opening als b. In thc othcr end cf thc body is a box, (J, having onc or morc compa1tmeni, c c, suitablc f0r holding articles cf i'0od, such as rneat and prescrves. The box has a 1id,c to which is a handle, 0 Thc vas- 'scl B and box O are detach ablc from the buckct,

and when in placc thcy ahnt .against cach othcr, and ab their outer ends are made to fit; thc tapering Wall cf thc bucket, and they 0 cupy the cntirc lcngth and breadth cf thebody. 'lhc vesscl B is prefcrably made as decp as the body a will contain. The box O is shallowex, leaving a space abovc it which can be used for holding such things as bread or napkins.

The cover.D is crowned, as shown more disand sccurcly placedand tinct1y in cross-section in Fig. 2. Thc chamber d thus created in the cover is madc t0 be inelosed by a part, E, Figs. l, 2, and 5, which is in thc forma of a dish having a flange, e, which servcs to form the side Wall cf the dish when used as such, and also to hold it in place in thc cover by springing the flange ewhich iss flexible, into thc flangc d of thc cover; and, to bcttcr hold the part; E in place, -t'hc cover rnay-be provicled with projections d a-gainst which thc flangc e may bea1, as shown.

Thc chatnber d xnay be used f0r holding articles that can be carricd safcly eil:her side upward, and which are held in thc'cover by 1ncans cf the part E. Thc latte1; may, whcn withdrawn from thc cover, bc arrangcd as in Fig. 5, and madc to serve as a dish.

Thc handle F ofthe bucketis rigid] y attached to the cover D, in ordcr that whcn the cover is turncd over and back upon a'ts hinge the handle, resting upon thc supportin g-su1rface G, shall servc as a reliable snpport in upholding thc covcr, as shown in Fig. 2.

T0 hold the cover D to thc body athc covcr is fiirnishcd with a hasp, H, which is perforated to pass ovcr thc cyc I in the usual manncr. T0 lock the hasp the lattcr is furnished with a split ring, j, which is pointed L0 the lower end, h, cf thc hasp. T0 unlock the hasp thc ring is turncd down, as in Fig. 3,

and tolock it the ring is turned, in thc and h, upward, and the endj passed through thc eye I, as shown in Figs. 4 and 6. T0 enable the ring 130 be readily attached 130 the hasp and 130 readily operatc the fing, the and h of the hasp is narrowed and wrappcd a1qound the ring.

By reason cf tlhe taperi ng form of thc body a cf thc bucket, and of the outer ends 0f the vessel B and box G, thc lat/er can bc rcadily held in the bucket.
